*knowing* you were pregnant


Hi,
A question for all pregnant ladies. I'm about a week before my period is due. Around 5 days ago I noticed that my nipples have become extremely sensitive to the point of pain at touch. Also my Montgomery glands (bumps on my areola) have become puffy and bigger. There has been nothing done that would make my nipples sore like this and they've never done this for my period.
While we aren't actively trying, we both would love a wee one around, just figured we'd wait a couple more years. So we use condoms, no birth control (hate the un-naturalness of them). The women in my family are also very fertile. My older sister had 3 babies in 2 years- and got pregnant twice on the pill.
So I'll get to my question, sorry for the build-up, I have a feeling that I'm pregnant. I've never felt it before, but I just kinda know. I dreamt last night that I took positive preg. tests and that I was 4 months and already showing (althought I'm not showing) Its still too early for a preg test to show positive, so without evidence I don't really know for sure, but I know.

So ladies, when did you know that you were pregnant? was it a feeling, or the test?

My bra's are a little tighter. I told my man last night "I think I'm pregnant" and he said "well that wouldn't be so bad" lol. I don't think he believes me. He says wait a week until your due and then take a test. I know he's right but I've been obsessing!

I think i felt a little different but didnt want to believe it. Had let downs before. My my mum and MIL to be was telling me i was and was adiment that i was lol. Sure enough the next morning i took a pregnancy test and hello positive.

Only thing that sucked about that was when we told them we were pregnant they were all like yeah we know lol. It was obvious. But i really dont think it was.

I had no clue. My OH told me to take a test. I thought he was crazy. I have no idea how he knew and I didn't. I was only 3-4 weeks.

The boobs are usually the first place you notice. Mine didn't get sore until around 5-6 weeks, but every woman is different.

So now, you play the waiting game

I just knew as well. About 3 DPO, I started having low back pain, which was unusal for me.

Then, around 6-7 DPO, I was in the shower, and I could see the blue veins in the thighs (very weird for me) and my boobs were very veiny at all times. I knew right then I was PG.

They say you don't get symptoms until you're late for your period, but I don't think that's true. If you're TTC, and you're in tune with your body, I think you notice the subtle changes.

Good luck, and I hope this is your month!!!

My boobs don't actually hurt- its just my nipples. And would I get an infection in both of them at the same time? They hurt to pinch lightly. touching them feels like they normally do with pinching. I only noticed the pain during sex (sorry for the image) because I was like ow! don't go there, which never has happened before. I noticed my bumps getting puffy before the sex though- didn't know that was a pregnancy symptom till last night!

hmm i really dont know anything about infections in boobs so i cant say for sure. I was just thinking that might be a reason for them being painful. It could be a symptom for you though hun, everyone is different. And dont think that because you have 5 symptoms of pregnancy that you are pregnant or because you have no symptoms that your not pregnant. Hardly anyone has 'by the book' symptoms.
Plus if you worry about it or what ever then the stress and worry might put your period off.
Im not trying to say your not pregnant hun i just know how it feels when you get yourself used to the idea and then get a BFN and get upset.
